AbstractIn this work, we prove the existence of global (in time) small data solutions for wave equations with two dissipative terms and with power nonlinearity $$|u|^p$$ | u | p or nonlinearity of derivative type $$|u_t|^p$$ | u t | p , in any space dimension $$n\geqslant 1$$ n ⩾ 1 , for supercritical powers $$p>{\bar{p}}$$ p > p ¯ . The presence of two dissipative terms strongly influences the nature of the problem, allowing us to derive $$L^r-L^q$$ L r - L q long time decay estimates for the solution in the full range $$1\leqslant r\leqslant q\leqslant \infty $$ 1 ⩽ r ⩽ q ⩽ ∞ . The optimality of the critical exponents is guaranteed by a nonexistence result for subcritical powers $$p<{\bar{p}}$$ p < p ¯ .

Abstract We prove that solutions to the quintic semilinear wave equation with variable coefficients in ${{\mathbb {R}}}^{1+3}$ scatter to a solution to the corresponding linear wave equation. The coefficients are small and decay as $|x|\to \infty$ , but are allowed to be time dependent. The proof uses local energy decay estimates to establish the decay of the $L^{6}$ norm of the solution as $t\to \infty$ .
